Thanks.
Opens fine in my opensuse version of LO, which is I think about 3.5.4.
(3.5 build 403).

Looking at nabble, it's way more than I need if anyone want's to look
at the document with which I'm having trouble. It can be downloaded
from http://beachware.org/Dec12.doc.
Thanks, all, for the support.

I've been very pleased with LibreOffice on many fronts. I recommend
it to everyone. As a matter of fact, I use it instead of Word at
every opportunity. At work, though, I use Word because that's
what's installed.
I write a newsletter for the American Legion. Since it was
developed in Word, I use my old student copy of Word 2003 to create
it each month. I have to provide both a .doc and .pdf of the
newsletter to the printers. My trick, since Word 2003 doesn't offer
a .pdf output, is to read the .doc with LibreOffice (3.5) and
publish it to .pdf.
For the first time in months, LibreOffice can't seem to recognize
the .doc format. I'm using the same version of Word that I've used
for months. The newsletter is basically the same file, which I copy
and modify for the new month. For whatever reason, LibreOffice
tries to open it as a text file. It initially asks what text
encoding it should use, waits for a long time, and then opens a
garbage document.
Is this a known problem? Did I do something to the document that
caused it to be read incorrectly?
Thanks for any ideas on this.
Chris
Which subversion of 3.5 are you using?
doc formats are generally well behaved for importing into LO.
Occasionally there is file that does not load correctly.
You might try saving the file as rtf and try opening that in LO. Once
you get the newsletter to open is to save it using ODF formats
instead of doc format.
One trick you can try is to rename the Libreoffice users folder - I
am not sure on Windows where it is. Restart LO and the folder will be
recreated. If there is a garbled setting this sometimes fixes the
problem.
If you can post a typical file to Nabble someone may be able to see
if they can replicate the problem.
